In judging Of the value Of an article
OF food, Herr Mayer would consider, as
the principal points to determine, its
harmlessness. In the first two respects
there is, he thinks, no ~appreciable diff
ference between genuine and ARTIFICIAL
butter. The third point depends chiefly
on indigestion, and he has proven by
experiment that genuine butter is the
more readily digested of the two. The
difference, eve in this respect, is not
great, but is especially noticeable when
the imitation butter is used with pota-
toes.

The intensity of the struggle for ex-

a magazine writer who asserts that
800, 000 families in London alone are in
the habit OF pawning small articles,
and that more than 10000 unre-
deemed pledges are sold every year.
AS many as 100000 articles are taken
in pledge yearly throughout the coun-
try, and although q certain proportion
of these are stolen goods, 1t is estimated
that only one In $4,000 a be counted
as such. In no country in the world
is the same relative poverty possible.

extremes of poverty and Of riches are

Their Spring and Summer Outfits.

Hints to Ladies' DESTROYS OF CompletfnR
Their Spring and Summer Outfits.
Rough straws are prominent in spring
millinery.
Surahs with white pin-head dots are
new American goods.
Combs for the hair are worn narrow
and high like large pins.
1t is expected that white corduroy
will be much used the coming season.
Handkerchiefs for use with evening
dresses are small and of the finest
batiste.
Some spring dress materials are gay
enough in color to satisfy the most
tropical taste.
Slender silver necklaces to be worn
over black velvet bands promise to be
quite popular.
A slight face trimming of fine flowers
just inside the top of the brim appears
on some of the new bonnets.
Underskirts of dresses will probably
be little trimmed, but the overdraperies
will be long and voluminous.
The camers-hair fabrics of the season
are soft and pliable and come in all de-
sirable colOrS. both light and dark.
Plated silk chemiscttes and lace plas-
irons give very dressy effect to an
otherwise plain corsage and are quite
fashionable.
Linen collars and cuffs continue to be
worn with street dresses, but ruchings
and lace frills represent the favorite
fashion for house wear
Double-breasted covert coats of dark
green or blue cloth, with turn-down
collar of velvet, and bone buttons,
furnish a pleasing style of spring
jackets.
A Partisan is reported to have in
vented corset that is comfortable, cool
and durable. 1t is of closely-woven
stOckinette, cut to fit the form and
having bones fitted into outside castings
In place of the hideous water-proofs
of the past come silk ones of dark blue,
with hair lines of garnet or dark red
ones. with fine stripes of black; also
pretty checks and changeable effects.
The very latest thing in ladies' I'M
dergarments are fine cambria suits OF
one bright color, trimmed with imita-
ton valenciennes and marked in white
with the owners monogram. The color
is chosen to match the dress, and may
be pink, blue, ecru or the like.
Horseback riding, rowing, walking,
swimming, exercising in gymnasiums
and similar methods of Strengthening
the muscles and developing the form
were never in higher favor than at
present with young women who want
to be healthy and pretty and have plenty
of fun.
High novelties in spring gloves just
from Paris include black gloves with
heavy stitching in red or yellow on the
back, and a binding of the same color
at the wrist. Colored gloves embroid-
dered with black, bound with black
and having strips of black kid between
the fingers and running their length,
are ascribed to French ingenuity. The
strips make the fingers appear long
and slender.-N Y World.

INSINCERE REFORMERS.
Self-Constituted Critics Who Have Mo
Mouth Than Brains

Self-Constituted Critics Who Have Moro
Mouth Than Brains
The failure of most of the attempts
of Civil-Service Reform Associations in
various parts of the country to SUBJ
stantiate their charges as against re-
sponsible Democratic officials whom
they have accused of spoils-mongering
in violation of law may be easily
traced to the latent and in some cases
active partisanship of these organiza-
tions. Nearly all the members of the
Civil-Seryice reform societies are Re-
publicans. Some of these bodies We're
not called into existence until the Gov
eminent was on the eve of passing in
TO Democratic hands, when there was
more inducement for Republicans to
become reformers than there was for
Democrats to do so, and for these
reasons it has been easy and natural
for the associations to fall into mis-
conceptions. They appear to have as
sumed that no changes what
ever in the official staff of Govern
ment agent were permissible, and to
have jumped at the conclusion in all
cases where changes were made that
mere partyism was at the bottom of
them. How foolish all this is will be
well understood by every employer or
superintendent who knows that where
large bodies of men are engaged there
must be many personal reasons, any of
them sufficient, for the explanation of
certain inevitable changes in the rank
and file of subordinates. 1t is not too
strong an assertion that there has been
less partisanship in the administration
of important Federal offices in the
great cities of the country than there
has been in the utterance and acts of
the various self-constituted Civil
Service reform associations. The of
fees have been conducted on the
theory that political belief OF prejudice
did not disqualify a man from service.
The associations have been conducted
on the principle that no Democrat
should have an appointment. Chicago

Hasty Action of Colored Partisans Who
Pay No Heed to Historical Facts.
The cOlored citizens at Washington
who gave a partisan turn to their
Emancipation Day celebration were
not as wise in their generation as
are their brethren in many other
parts of the country. The orator of
the day ''arraigned the President for
not interfering when outrages were
committed at the South" and de-
nounced the negro who accepts office
from the present Administration as ga
Judas"
This is Illogical to the point of folly
What has the Republican party done
for the negro since emancipation? Did
not three Republican Presidents in
succeSsion-Hayes, Garfield and Ar
thur refrain from interfering" for
the protection of colored men
at the South? A Re publican
President withdrew the Federal
troops from that section. A Re-
publican Supreme Court nullified the
Civil-Rights law. The last Republican
President, a ''stalwart'' at that. never
once mentioned the ''outrages" or re-
ferred to the South as a section requir-
ing Federal supervision. These out
RACES, in fact, have steadily diminished
under the policy of leaving the con-
troll of home affairs to the Southern
States. In no two years since the
close of the war have there been fewer
race troubles in the South than since
the Inauguration of a Democratic
President
As a matter of fact and of law, the
Federal Government has no more
power to interfere in the administra-
ton of justice in the Southern
States than it has to take control of
the Weeks case in Brooklyn or the
Railway inquest in New Jersey. Nor
is there any occasion for its doing so in
one case more than in the others. In
telligent and sensible negroes know
that the worst thing that can happen
to their race is to have the color-line
maintained in politics at the South
And they have become tired of acting
as unrewarded hewers of wood and
drawers of water for Republican nest
feathering politicians.-N. Y. World.
